Garlic Guacamole

Submitted by Brooke the Cook in

"No tomatoes in this guac - which makes it a great one for when fresh tomatoes aren't readily available. I often make it in the summer even when tomatoes are available as this is one of my favorite guacs - fair warning though, the garlic comes through loud and clear!! Course salt (I use sea salt) is smashed with the garlic and then combined with avocado, jalapeno and onions! Adapted from Rachel Ray"

Loved this guacamole! Doubled the recipe, as the avocados were on the small side. Used lime instead of lemon, and jalapenos from a jar, as we don't have fresh ones where I live. I was happy to find a recipe without tomatoes, as I don't use them when not in season. Yum, yum!

This was great!I made a double batch as I was expecting company.They were late and only a small bowl made it! I added some habanero sauce for my own guacamole. This is going in my keepers book!Thanks for sharing.

I love guacamole and this is a good recipe, although not my favorite. My husband who is not real big on guacamole loved this recipe, and this has become his favorite guacamole recipe. I added just about 1 tablespoon of finely diced red pepper to this and used lime juice instead of lemon. I made this for zwt5.
